Winning Innovations:Immunobase: Built an innovation to improve immunisation records by implementing biometrics as a unique identifier and a blockchain solution to hold medical records. (the blockchain component works so that every immunisation is signed as a transaction for proper record verification, audit and is sharable.

Phalanx: Is a biometric-enabled medical record keeping platform using mobile device to collate immunisation data for patients. The innovation also includes a USSD accessible system to capture patient details from non-smartphones.

Central Immunisation Management System: A card-less immunisation management system that leverages different technology platforms (USSD,android mobile, web) to electronically capture, record, update and retrieve immunization records (regardless of internet connectivity). It uses a unique system of identification- mother’s phone number and position of a child in a family (e.g 0811387165101). It also provides customised SMS services to mothers serving as immunisation reminders.
